More detail items - bumper to subframe bolts
Can anyone post pics of the correct bolts to use (for a 1968 Firebird) to bolt the L-shaped brackets from the front nose bumper to the sub-frame? I have 1/2" - 13 bolts that are 1 and 3/8" long and 1" inch long for each side. The longer bolts look like they might be correct but the short 1" bolts look like hardware store bolts. 1969 Firebird Assembly Manual only shows 1 bolt and 1 PN and it is 9783436.
I can post pics if needed.

The washers are serrated on the edge to grip the frame.

THANKS Jason and franky! What I have is in the pic attached. The larger two on the left seem to be correct for what you guys showed me, with the square shoulder under the head but the head markings are different. The shorter two on the right look like hardware store bolts to me but does have similar head markings. Should all 4 bolts be the same? If so, do you guys have a source for replacements? I have checked AMK and there is no part number cross reference and I wasn't able to match anything manually in there catalog.

I have the correct serrated washers. Both those and the nuts came from AMK and are a direct cross-reference of the part number. These had plain flat washers when I took them off the car which makes all 4 more suspect for me.
